What do you think you’ll read next?

CR: A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas (#2) is fuelling my ongoing desire to read fantasy that will consume all of my thoughts while I’m in it! Honestly, re-reading this bad arse series has been such a fantastic experience. With me reading them as an OG when they progressively came out from 2015 onwards, I was starting to feel as if I’d forgotten the plot lines, delicately woven connections between characters and that ultimate feeling of being captivated in a good romance/fantasy novel. If you don’t know what this series is about, we follow a human called Feyre who hunts in the woods near her house to provide for her starving family. There is a whole other world across ‘the wall’, the land of fae but since the last war there hasn’t been any real interactions with the other world. Until Feyre kills a wolf which is a fae in shapeshift. This plot loosely follow Beauty and the Beast, so I will leave the rest up to your imagination or eyes if you choose to read this fabulous series 👀

RF: A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas (#1) – see previous as this is where the story of Feyre begins.

Comment below if you’d like a Book Review on the first novel 🎙

RN: Iris by Fiona Kelly McGregor recently made the Stella Prize longlist of 2023 and to be honest, previous to hearing this announcement, I hadn’t paid the book much attention but GOSH am I glad I know about it now because I am so intrigued!! Iris follows the life and tribulations of Iris Webber, notoriously Sydney’s most murderous woman of the 1930’s underbelly era. Heck, that alone, how interesting to hear a fictionalised story from the perspective of a woman so well known for her sleuthing behaviours, dangerous reputation and run in’s with police. I hope this novel delivers in grittiness. That’s what I’m seeking from my next read – something to blow me out of the park! I’m on the reading hunt for my favourite books of 2023 … I wonder if this will make it …
